Barclays Center Stage of Protest by Garner Supporters

Protests against a Staten Island grand jury's decision not to indict an NYPD officer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner took place inside and outside of the Barclays Center Monday night, as the Duke and and Duchess of Cambridge attended a Brooklyn Nets game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

While a group of protesters staged a "die-in" outside the arena, Cavaliers players' LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, along with multiple Nets players, wore "I Can't Breathe" shirts as they warmed up before the game.
